Quote:wow really that low i would think a little higher but i guess that would explain why they had to shut down 100 subs just isn't enough for a big company but that's also there fault for not advertising more i would so have totally played if i had knew about it, and now that i cant im really mad, and sad at the same time.

I think when it went down in the EU it had more than 100 subs left really. There was no promotion at all and in only a free countries the EU version was playable with an IP-block in place. The lack of promo and split launch killed the game from the start.


When the Acclaim servers went down there were probably around 25 players (give or take) in the EU peek hours on the PvP server (I did not playing during American times nor did I play on the PvE server to see what the status there was). Only so few players you say? Yep, the game got bugged in the end and people had a hard time installing it in the first place. Acclaim did nothing to fix this so alot of people couldn't play.


If you'd put up a f2p server based on a donation system nowadays and have roughly 200 active players, then I'd say a donation mark between 5-15 euro on a monthly basis by 10% of the playerbase would do to keep it and the login server online and safe for the future.


Don't shoot me on the numbers, I can be wrong.
